Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Do Me a Favor, Logan

"If a competition can’t even guarantee fairness, then what’s the point of entering it?"

"Selina could seduce the judges last time—what makes you think she won’t do it again?"

"We don’t want to compete with someone like that. What if she steals our spot and we don’t even know how it happened?"

"Selina, say something! Did you really seduce a judge?"

Everyone turned to look at Selina. Angelica’s eyes glinted with satisfaction.

The evidence was long gone. There was no way for Selina to prove her innocence. This was her punishment.

Ellis spoke coldly, "I’ll just be blunt—Selina, if you have any dignity left, I suggest you withdraw from this competition. As you can see, no one here wants you around."

With that, Ellis basically confirmed everything he had just accused her of.

Selina tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her expression calm. "Is that what you want, Mr. Lee? You want me to quit?"

Ellis snapped, "What kind of attitude is that? I let you off the hook last time, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven you!"

"Oh, I see." Selina still looked unbothered. She glanced at Angelica with a half-smile. "And what about you, Angelica? Do you want me to quit? If you say so, I’ll back out."

Angelica’s expression froze.

No. Selina had to compete.

Only if Selina stayed in the competition could Angelica keep stealing her designs and take first place. Only then could she keep Selina under her heel, never letting her rise again.

So Selina had to stay.

Angelica forced a smile. "Mr. Lee, everyone... I believe Selina has changed. Don’t worry—I’ll personally keep an eye on her. She won’t pull anything like that again."

Selina rested her chin on her hand, looking relaxed. "You hear that, Judge Lee?"

Ellis lost it, yelling, "I’ve never seen a contestant this arrogant! You seduced me and now you act all smug?"

Selina’s smile deepened, but her eyes turned cold.

She didn’t understand what Ellis was so angry about.

Did he not know the truth about the "seduction"? No—he knew exactly what happened.

It was Ellis and Angelica who had stolen her design and made up the seduction story to frame her.

But after two years of standing on his self-righteous pedestal, repeating the lie over and over, it had started to sound like the truth.

"Hold on. Seduced you?"

Suddenly, Luke blinked in confusion, looking Ellis up and down. "You’re saying Selina seduced you to make it to the finals?"

Ellis kept up his self-important front. "Yes. And I’d suggest you stay away from people like her, too—"

"But two years ago, my brother was a judge too. Why didn’t she seduce him instead of you?"

Luke looked genuinely puzzled, innocent, and just dumb enough to be sincere. "That’s so weird. Between my brother and you, she picked you? What could she possibly want from you? Your age? Your poor hygiene?"

"Oh—I get it now!"

Luke suddenly had an epiphany. "It’s your confidence! That’s what she was after!"

. . .

The room fell into a strange, awkward silence.

Wait—Mr. Reid was one of the judges two years ago?

If that’s true, Selina would’ve had no reason to seduce Ellis.

And if she had tried to seduce a judge, wouldn’t Logan—who was also on the panel—have known about it?

Why would he go on to marry Selina if that were true?

So there was only one explanation...

"Nonsense! Twisting facts!"
